I stayed at Gasthof Engel recently during a friend’s wedding whose family is from the area and this inn was such a special surprise.The whole Lott family were so welcoming and kind, it felt like staying with friends rather than at a business.The property is beautiful with a pool and lovely garden. One of the most unexpected elements was the absolutely amazing local food and wines. Chef Carl is incredibly talented and humble. We tried local deer and handmade noodles in a mind-blowing gravy with cranberry sauce.Our hosts even went so far as to help us get to the wedding venue and arrange a local hike by bike. Such a hidden gem.

We stayed here on our way to Italy from Rotterdam. Dead easy to find with parking plentiful. ||Sadly the restaurant was closed when we went (I imagine the chef was having a deserved holiday!) …

Lovely owners run a Gasthof, which is in the same family for 150 years. The place is super clean, comfortable and in a style, which has nothing artificial - simply a style which one would like to see in the Black Forest. …

Really enjoyed our stay here. It's a little bit of an older building/furnishings, but it's cheap and the staff are very helpful. Amazing breakfast buffet - really pulled out the stops there. We had dinner here as well, it was pretty basic but good everyday cooking.

I stayed here for one night in October driving from Holland to Genoa in Italy. The hotel lies just off the A5 on the German side of the border with France near Strasburg.||Pretty and typical family run small hotel.  …

The hotel is just a little distance from Appenweier but you need good directions to find by car. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, and the food in the restaurant was quite good local fare.  …

Absolutely spotless, the food is fantastic and the local area simply beautiful! I can't wait to go back. The service is second to none and the staff are so very helpful. Found completely by accident but am very glad I found it! Would make a special trip just to stay here!!

Nice gasthof, good rooms and perfect place for a stop on the route to the south. Restaurant is lovely. Good food, nice winelist with a lot of wines by the glass or carafe. The only (very)disturbing thing is the church! Bell's ring every quarter and with more noize on the half and whole hours. Ask a room on the backside!

We needed a night's accommodation on short notice for our visit to the Strasbourg Christmas Market. What a delightful, modern, yet quaint Gasthaus in the perfect location. …
